Sena Auriya isn't an ordinary challenge-loving student. Aside from having blessed with physics-based superpowers, she's capable of eating a whole horse if she really tries. Or so she thought. 

Faced with a great challenge ahead of her, she was determined to get the bear plush for her partner, Kayne. Although it appears that she's not strong enough yet, so she asks for assistance from her fellow science-power-havers. Will she end up victorious?

Defeat The Black Hole Beef Bowl Challenge is a comedy visual novel originally made for Yuri Game Jam 2023, although it doesn't really have much romantic moments. With that, this game is also submitted to Aro Jam 2024 since it fits the category.

CHARACTERS:

SENA (she/him)
Competitive. Possesses an ability to manipulate movements. Will NOT cheat in the name of physics. Has a great eating prowess, but is she competent enough to defeat the Black Hole Beef Bowl?

KAYNE (she/they)
Would love to attempt the challenge but their spicy tolerance is on level 0.5. Loves space.
NOVA (they/he)
Eats microplastics but can't handle bird's eye chili pepper. Thinks capsaicin is neat but not as neat as hydrochloric acid. Will cheat in the name of chemistry.
RERE (he/him)
Hates squid ink. Would only eat the black hole beef bowl if his life is threatened. Knows the digestive system like an old friend. Will cheat in the name of biology.
KOURI (he/they)
Just here for free food and statistical mathematics.

Fun read. It's nice to see some representation for aro or ace characters. I am possibly biromantic and grey/demi myself so I related a bit to Kayne being able to care so much about someone while being comfortable just with that.

Thank you! I identify as gray-aro so I'm happy you can relate to my characters :D

Fun visual novel! I was pretty invested in Sena completing the beef bowl challenge by the end. Has me craving some beef bowls for lunch as well!

Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :D
